We study a dynamic coordination process in which agents are uncertain about the actions of their fellow agents, and anticipate strategically relevant information. Because of the uncertainty and learning, (ir)reversibility of actions has important strategic consequences. We find that the reversibility option can either enhance or hamper efficient coordination, and we characterize the direction o...

Inverted strip buried heterostructure lasers have been fabricated. These lasers have threshold currents and quantum efficiencies that are comparable to those of conventional buried heterostructure lasers. The optical mode is confined by a weakly guiding strip loaded waveguide which makes possible operation in the fundamental transverse mode for larger stripe widths than is possible for conventi...

Acidic pKas of histidines buried within the protein interior are frequently rationalized on the contradictory basis of either polar interactions within the protein or the effects of a hydrophobic environment. To examine these relationships, we surveyed the buried surface area, depth of burial, polar interactions, and crystallographic temperature factors of histidines of known pKa. It has been f...

We describe plasmon propagation in silica-filled coupled nanovoids fully buried in gold. Propagation bands and band gaps are shown to be tunable through the degree of overlap and plasmon hybridization between contiguous voids. The effect of disorder and fabrication imperfections is thoroughly investigated. Our work explores a novel paradigm for plasmon photonics relying on plasmon modes in meta...

THIS is a preliminary report of a new magnetic ocular obturator for use after enucleation of the globe. It is a completely buried implant. An attempt has been made to bring the research, design, construction, and surgery of the new instrument into continuity with previous models of the post-eviscerative type, some partially buried and some wholly buried within the orbital structure, applying th...
